Tool rack

Abstract

This invention discloses a set of tool rack which can particularly place multiple wrenches. It is mainly comprised of a main frame, a front cover panel and two locking members. The main frame includes an axial rod, a connecting plate and two side plates. The axial rod provides the openings of the wrenches to hold on. Each side plate includes a guiding slot and a locking hole. The guiding slot starts from the rear end of the side plate, extended around the axis of the axial rod, and then ends to the front end of the side plate. Between the two side plates are multiple receiving recesses for the shanks of the wrenches to be engaged. The front cover panel includes a cover plate and two curved side plates having protruding columns inserted over the guiding slot so that the cover plate is moveable along the guiding slots.

1. A tool rack provided for placing with multiple wrenches, a middle portion of each wrench ( 4 ) being a shank ( 40 ) whose one end connects with a driving head ( 41 ) having a U-shaped opening ( 410 ), and the tool rack comprising:
 a main frame ( 1 ) including two side plates ( 17 ), a connecting plate ( 13 ) horizontally linking between the side plates ( 17 ), and an axial rod ( 16 ), the side plates ( 17 ) located on both sides of the main frame ( 1 ) respectively, the connecting plate ( 13 ) positioned at a rear side of the main frame ( 1 ), and the axial rod ( 16 ) connecting the side plates ( 17 ) and positioned on a top of the main frame ( 1 ) for the openings ( 410 ) of the wrenches ( 4 ) to hold on, each side plate ( 17 ) having a long and narrow guiding slot ( 10 ) and a locking hole ( 12 ), the guiding slot ( 10 ) starting from a rear end of the side plate ( 17 ) and extending around the axis of the axial rod ( 16 ), and ending to a front end of the side plate ( 17 ), among the side plates ( 17 ) and the connecting plate ( 13 ) there are a plurality of receiving recesses ( 11 ) laterally established in parallel, each receiving recess ( 11 ) having an opening ( 110 ) facing to a front side of the main frame ( 1 ) so as to allow the shank ( 40 ) of the wrench ( 4 ) to be engaged therein, at least a raised strip ( 111 ) provided on the inner wall of the opening ( 110 ) to keep the shank ( 40 ) from moving; 
 a front cover panel ( 2 ) including a cover plate ( 21 ) and two curved side plates ( 25 ), the two curved side plates ( 25 ) located on both sides of the cover plate ( 21 ), for connecting to the side plates ( 17 ) of the main frame ( 1 ), each curved side plate ( 25 ) having at least one protruding column ( 20 ) used to insert into the guiding slots ( 10 ), the cover plate ( 21 ) provided for covering the opening ( 110 ) of the receiving recesses ( 11 ), and a curved edge ( 23 ) laterally extended along the rear side of the cover plate ( 21 ); and 
 two locking members ( 3 ) respectively inserted through the locking holes ( 12 ) of the main frame ( 1 ) for restricting against a top edge ( 24 ) of the side plates ( 25 ) so that the front cover panel ( 2 ) can be fixed in front of the receiving recesses ( 11 ). 
 
     
     
       2. The tool rack as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the inner sidewalls of the both distal ends of the guiding slot ( 10 ) have extruded a plurality of stopping edges ( 101 ) therefrom. 
     
     
       3. The tool rack as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the locking hole ( 12 ) is positioned on the guiding slot ( 10 ) and has an inner diameter larger than the width of the guiding slot ( 10 ). 
     
     
       4. The tool rack as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of receiving recesses ( 11 ) is seven. 
     
     
       5. The tool rack as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the axial rod ( 16 ) is axially tapered. 
     
     
       6. The tool rack as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a bottom portion of the driving head ( 41 ) is defined by a conjunction neck ( 42 ) between the driving head ( 41 ) and the shank ( 40 ), the conjunction neck ( 42 ) is supported by a top edge ( 131 ) of the connecting plate ( 13 ). 
     
     
       7. The tool rack as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a distal end of each protruding column ( 20 ) is provided a head ( 200 ) thereon with a bigger diameter than the column ( 20 ). 
     
     
       8. The tool rack as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a front side of the cover plate ( 21 ) is a curved surface. 
     
     
       9. The tool rack as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein there is a plurality of cylindrical stops ( 160 ) around the axial rod ( 16 ), each cylindrical stop ( 160 ) allows the opening ( 410 ) of one driving head ( 41 ) of the wrench ( 4 ) to be held on. 
     
     
       10. The tool rack as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the axial rod ( 16 ) is an independent piece with respect of the side plates ( 17 ), and there are holes ( 170 ) on the side ( 5 ) plates ( 17 ) allowing the axial rod ( 16 ) to be inserted and fixed.
